A role of the LIM-homeobox gene Lhx2 in the regulation of pituitary development.

Developmental biology - 15 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

The mammalian pituitary gland originates from two separate germinal tissues during embryonic development. The anterior and intermediate lobes of the pituitary are derived from Rathke's pouch, a pocket formed by an invagination of the oral ectoderm. The posterior lobe is derived from the infundibulum, which is formed by evagination of the neuroectoderm in the ventral diencephalon. Previous studies have shown that...
